Applications are available for the Glen Arbor Arts Center’s (GAAC) 2020 student exhibition, “Who Owns The Water?” This themed, juried exhibition takes place April 7-May 1, and is open to students in grades 9-12, attending schools in Benzie, Grand Traverse and Leelanau counties. The deadline for online submissions is March 4. Three cash prizes will be awarded.
Applicants are challenged to come up with a visual response to the exhibition’s titular question: Who owns the water? The exhibition is open to 2D and 3D media. A prospectus and application are both on-line, at the Glen Arbor Arts Center’s website. Visit GlenArborArt.org, and click on the FOR ARTISTS tab. Collaborating on this exhibition is FLOW [For Love of Water], an advocacy and policy nonprofit in Traverse City focused on water rights and issues.
The reception for the opening of the exhibit and awards is Wednesday, April 8 from 4-6 p.m.
As part of the Who Owns The Water? exhibition, the GAAC will host the Fresh Water Poetry Throwdown on April 19. Any high school student can participate by reading an original poem—free verse, conventional verse, slam verse or otherwise—about water.
